United Wins Fifth in a Row


DC United guts out another road game to beat Toronto FC 1-0. For once I don't get to write "we need to finish our chances!". Fred scored the game winner in the eigth minute, on DC United's first shot. United's second shot wouldn't come until the sixty-second minute. Toronto FC out shot the Black and Red 12-5. Toronto's attack was very predictable with all of their injury problems and DC United's defense kept their shape. Here's what Vanney had to say:

"It's tough because you know, obviously Dichio -- he's a house, he's tough to move, and you know he's going to win it. But the game it's predictable -- what they do is predictable, and we did a great job of picking up second balls, tracking runners, getting balls that are knocked down. We knew that if we could do that we could eliminate a good portion of their attack."
